Waves come in a variety of different forms. There are sound, light, seismic, electric and several others. Waves travel and may cause a disturbance to an object but do not make any objects displace from their original position.
Amplitude- The maximum distance the string moves above or below this equilibrium value.
Wavelength- The horizontal arrows that shows the distance between two successive points that behave identically.
Velocity of a wave = wavelength/time (m/s).
Types of waves: sound waves, waves on a string, seismic waves, and electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, radio waves, television signals, and x-rays.
Interference of waves: Two traveling waves can pass through each other without being destroyed or altered. The resultant wave is found by adding together the displacements of the individual waves point by point.
